Beyond ERP Technology –

The Two Decisions You Have to Make

If you’ve decided that implementing a new ERP software will help solve the operational problems your organization faces, then you’re realizing that you’ve got two big decisions to make:

1. What ERP software is the best for your company?
2. Who are you going to hire to implement and support your new ERP system?

If you’re looking at best-of-breed ERP solutions from vendors like SAP, Microsoft, and Oracle, then the software you select is the least critical of the two questions. Juggernauts like these make great software products, that’s why you’re considering them.

Companies win and lose using these solutions every day, and it’s not solely because of the software. The value that a business drives from the software is due to the way the software is being utilized.

SAP is the world’s leading ERP software developer and has been since the inception of this software category. SAP offers two solutions for small and midmarket companies: SAP Business ByDesign and SAP Business One. Both ERP systems are designed for small and mid-market companies so, without some further explanation, it can be hard to determine which solution is the right fit for you. To make it easier for you to determine which software option is best for your business, we put together a guide that explores the similarities and differences of SAP Business One and SAP Business ByDesign.
